Day 1 How to Pray - The Jesus Model
DAY 1—Prayer Begins With Relationship Not Religion
When many people think about prayer, they think about a religious activity—something to check off, a spiritual duty, or a list of requests to hand to God.
But when Jesus prayed, He showed something very different.
Prayer was not a performance. It was relationship.
He didn’t approach God as distant. He approached Him as Father.
That changed everything.
The reason Jesus’ prayer life was powerful is not because He used perfect words. It’s because He lived in deep relationship with the Father.
And that’s where prayer that changes you begins.
Not in trying to impress God.Not in repeating the right phrases.Not in sounding spiritual.
It begins when you understand that prayer is an invitation into closeness.
If prayer feels dry, it may be because you’ve made it a task instead of a relationship.
Jesus teaches us that before prayer changes circumstances, it changes connection.
Scripture
“But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.” — Matthew 6:6 (NIV)
